Overview / Design Principle:
The new generation Plus Series 8100+ is a 1/8 DIN temperature
controller which combines sophisticated functionality and
built-in versatility with ease of use.
The 8100+ temperature controller incorporates our advanced
tuning algorithms, with selectable pre-tune and self-tuning.
Pre-tune is used on startup and is a one step tuning algorithm
designed to get you to setpoint fast with self-tuning being
enabled near setpoint and normal operating conditions to control
overshoot. The self-tune is a continuous tuning algorithm
sometimes referred to as adaptive tuning. This control
can also be manual fine tuned for specific applications.
Our Plug and Play Technology allows you the ability to
easily add to the controller’s features including communication
by simply installing additional plug-in boards. Inputs, Outputs,
Alarms, and Communications are all field upgradeable! This
capability also allows the user to pay for only the options that
are required on todays applications.
The temperature controller is also easy to setup, with an
innovative configuration port for off line programming directly
from a PC or through a simplified operator’s front panel, which
also makes accessing information quick and easy. Access can also
be limited by either a security code or by setpoint options.
Features and Benefits:
- Dual setpoints with optional remote selection
- Plug-in output modules allow installing just the
functions needed
- Expanded user-selectable operator modes

Applications:
Ideal for temperature control applications requiring a
value-priced, user-friendly, versatile and well featured
general-purpose controller.
Industries:
- Industrial and lab ovens/furnaces, plastics and thermal
forming
- Form/Fill and seal
- Packaging applications
- And any others where low costs, smaller size and
unmatched connectivity are critical requirements.
